Hey everybody.

1. can i ask what is the difference in "fill uncut surface with-own surface color(NON-SHADED)" and "fill uncut surface with-own surface color(SHADED) under the elevation? i cannot tell the difference from the image attached.

2. May i know how to make the color a little big lighter or transparent? coz now the color is too dark and solid, which is a bit disgusting


Big thanks!!!!!

If you need transparency, I would not use elevations or sections for the drawings. I would use 3D Documents.
The reason is that if you turn Transparency on for S/E it will affect all drawings while 3D-Doc is an item for each view.
